What makes kitchen remodeling different in Mar Vista
Mar Vista's housing stock is dominated by 1940s–1960s ranches, post-war traditionals, and a notable concentration of mid-century modern bungalows along the Mar Vista Tract. Lots are smaller than Brentwood or Cheviot Hills; remodels here tend toward kitchen, bath, and whole-home updates that bring older systems to current code while preserving the mid-century character.
Most Mar Vista homes were built before 1980. That means galvanized supply lines, undersized electrical panels, original gas runs, and rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. Once walls open during a kitchen remodeling project, we expect to bring the underlying systems to current code — not as a surprise, as a plan.
Common architecture in Mar Vista: Mid-Century Modern, Ranch, Spanish Colonial Revival. We design westside renovations to honor what's already there while bringing systems and finishes up to current code and current standards.
